The Process of Reiki Attunement

Reiki is formless and cannot be represented by mere words, concepts or structure. It has to be practised and experienced. One has to learn to let go of procedures, structures, concepts or forms when using the Reiki energy. Lizzie would like to encourage One to be free from perceptions and thought forms.... 'Free your mind.' The Reiki Attunement opens the natural energy channels in the body and after the attunement the student will be able to channel Reiki energy. This ability does not "go away" or get lost.

The student becomes a Vessel or Channel for the Reiki energy. The healing is done by the Universal life-force energy. It is directed by the universal intelligence and it knows where and what to heal.

Lizzie feels that: However, the energy may be further enhanced when the student practises some other forms of "Qi" exercises like Qi Gong or Tai Chi..etc... and also practises it well with the 5 Reiki principles, Meditate regularly, as all these supplimentary methods not only enhances the overall personal "Qi" of the student but it just multiplies in the vibrancy of the Student's Aura which also compliments the Reiki energy very well.

Because of the oral tradition and secrecy that surrounded traditional Reiki teaching, the Attunement process can vary from Reiki Master to Reiki Master. The same goes for the symbols used in the Attunement. This however, does not affect the Attunement.

The Reiki Attunement is very straight forward and only takes a few minutes.
The student might be asked to remove all jewelry, glasses and shoes, depending on the Reiki Masters' preferences.
Some said that jewellery and metal in general interferes with the energy flow and stores energy. The purpose for removing the shoes is to be more grounded during the attunement.

The student sits on a chair with the feet flat on the floor and with the hands in front and palms together. Some may or may not have very interesting experiences during the attunement which is subjective to the individual . There is no right or wrong as either way is normal.

It is important to remember that we are dealing with an Energy directly connected to the Universe with an " intelligence " far beyond our comprehension, so your Reiki Master is probably more guided by intuition than strict procedural guidelines.

Reiki is attracting a lot of people, more and more are being attuned to become Reiki Masters and some of them are integrating other healing methods with their Reiki healing.
It is therefore important to understand that your healing might be a little different from the Reiki Master that introduced you to it.

There are even a few Reiki Masters who insists that their methods are "the only right one" or "the superior one".
Remember that Reiki is Universal & Divine Love & Light energy and Lizzie feels that we should not judge others by our own limited perceptions or belief system as this would mean that we are not practising & integrating the 5 Reiki principles well into our daily life. When this happens, all we need to do is to send them Reiki energy and Loving Kindness and ask the Divine Guides to guide and enlighten them on the right path.
